THE Indianapolis Sentinel might have
found some other way to testify its devotion
to Grover Cleveland than by an infamous as
sault on the Grand Army of the Republic.
Its assertion that "the indications are that
plot was to be concocted to murder Cleveland
at st. Louis" in effect charges the Grand
Army with harboring assassins and murder
ers, and the wholesale character of the charge
makes it apply to every member of the order.
The old soldiers of Indiana who are going to
St Louis will not forget this.

THE report that Canadian cruiser fired
into and sunk United States fishing vessel is
denied, but even lift proves to be true it won't
do for excited and indignant American citizens
to rise up and dash off across the lakes with
out due preparation and with the idea that
they can ''whip Canada with one hand
Canada, it seems, according to a writer in the
American Magazine for September, has a
military system which, while it might prove
inadequate for offensive action, is complete
for defensive purposes Gas the circumstances
of the country or the possibilities of the fut-
ure render necessary" The strength of the
system is said to lie mot SO much in the
educational. Institutional facilities provided,
as in the fact that the law under which the
militia is maintained applies uniformly to the
whole Dominion. Service is compulsory
either for drill maintenance of internal order,
or purposes of defense. whenever volunteers do
not come forward for enrolment IN the re-
quired number; and finally, when at drill, on
service, or in uniform, both officers and men
are subject to the same discipline that gov
army" That the system does not produce
soldiers for parade only, but those who can
shoot, is shown by the statement concerning
their rife practice. One of the most
potent inducements that enrolment in
the militia holds out TO the young
Canadian, it is said, ''is the system
of firing competitions, which is about as COM
plete as it we'll could be- 1t begins with each
company in regiment having its annual
competition which is confined to its own
members. Then the whole regiment unites
for competition a larger scale Then
each province gathers its rifemen together
into one general contest, at which substantial
prizes are held out to the successful shooters.
Finally, the Dominion authorities every au-
tumn summon to Ottawa the picked men from
each province, and these compete with one
another on the Rideau rifle range, Ottawa,
for really splendid prizes in the form of
trophies and money, the latter ranging from
sums like $3.50 down to SIS, while the former
compris some costly works of art" On the
whole it would seem that Canada is fairly well
equipped to take care of herself and her own,
and will not do to trife with.

THERE is something rather brave and
plucky about Prince Ferdinand's manner of
assuming the Bulgarian crown. So far as his
title is concerned, it is quite as good as that
of the average ruler, he having been duly
chosen by the Bulgarian Sobranje, parlia-
ment. and accepted by the army and people.
The fact that he has accepted the call and as
stunned the responsibilities of the position
without waiting for the approval of Russia,
or any of the powers, speaks well for his in
dependence of character. AS Americans
would say, it shows he has "sand." His proc
lamation assuming the government is modest
and manly, and seems to indicate considera-
BILE reserve force. This estimate of his char
acter may not prove true, but it seems to be
justified by the circumstances. His position
is a trying one. and he will probably find
very soon that he has embarked on a rough
VOYAGE.

AN analysis of the recent vote in Louisville
shows that the Republicans have an excellent
fighting chance of carrying the city if proper
effort is made in the next election. In the
late election, in total vote of 10, 1873 the
Democratic majority was only 1,S09. The
registered negro vote was S, 1924, of whom
1,577 failed to vote, and it is estimated that
about 800 voted the Democratic ticket for
Doodle. Here is a margin for Republicans to
work on. The Louisville Commercial says:
1.-The Republicans have seen by the last cleo
ton the power they possess in this city by
uniting their forces and in the National con-
test next year Louisville can be expected to
go Republican. All of the co,ored voters will
cast their ballots for the I}epu olican candi-
date for the presidency" The signifcance of
the situation is in the chance it gives the
Republicans of electing Congressman.
With popular candidate and united effort
they ought to be able to achieve victory in
Louisville that would give them good vantage
ground and strong leverage in the State at
large.

A CURRENT item says that Buffalo Bill, OF,

Coliseum. There is a smack of audacity
about the enterprise that would doubtless
commend it to the now celebrated Snowman,
but it is hardly probable the italian govern
ment would permit such desecration of
classic ground, even for the big money Col.
Cody would probably offer.

THE fifth annual report of the Indiana State
Board of Health for the year ending Oct. 81,
1856, is just published. Its value and useful
ness would have been greatly increased if it
had been issued several months ago. The
record shows that the report was filed in the
Office of the Secretary of State on the 23d OF
December, 1886. If it takes the public print
er eight months to get out a volume of less
than three'hundred pages he had better
large his facilities to something like the ne
cessities Of the occasion. The value of re-
port of this kind depends in a considerable de-
gree on its prompt publication. The report
contains good deal of interesting matter
and valuable statistics bearing on the hygienic
and vital conditions of the State. The State
Board of Health has now been organized Fl We
years, and, with the cooperation of county
and local boards, is beginning to do some good
work in the direction Of the objects for which
